Whoa, dudes
I just saw the thread about Phenomenon 32 on Something Awful, and… whoa. Just whoa. That’s a lot of hate in one place, guys. Not sure how to react to this, really. I mean, on one level I guess it’s hilarious to see just how absurd some of the comments are. On another level, it’s [...]

GameJolt no more
I really liked working with GameJolt; the interface is nice, the site owners were incredibly friendly and helpful, and I like the overall concept a lot. Unfortunately, the players there hated Phenomenon 32 with an enormous amount of passion. They hated it for its graphics, for having a manual, for having voice acting, for its [...]

It’s my birthday today, but I don’t have anything particularly fascinating to say about myself, so I’ll talk about someone else instead: one of my teachers. As most of you probably don’t know, I went to school at the German School of Thessaloniki (Deutsche Schule Thessaloniki – DST). It wasn’t the best school I can [...]

The story so far; and what happened after that
I know I can be a bit of a drama queen, so I’d like to start by pointing out that I’m quite calm as I write this. Not happy, but calm. The release of Phenomenon 32 has been… not exactly a wonderful event so far. There was one absolutely delightful post by Gregory Weir that [...]

Phenomenon 32 now on GameJolt
Phenomenon 32 is now available for download from GameJolt. You can also rate the game and say nice, fluffy things about it. (I like nice, fluffy things.) Since people seem to think that the latest version is fairly stable, I’d be very happy if people could start promoting the game now. Tell your family! Tell [...]

an explosion of vomit
I just watched this video of Salman Rushie, Mos Def and Christopher Hitchens debating nuclear disarmament on Real Time with Bill Maher, and I feel like vomiting. People like Christopher Hitchens are the reason that the future of humanity is looking increasingly dire. That condenscending, racist snobs like Hitchens have highjacked the legacy of the [...]

Are you having problems?
Just as I thought I could relax, I start having shitloads of crashes when playing Phenomenon 32 v1.4. Has Construct gone crazy on me again? Is the same happening to you? God, this is depressing. Edit: Ran the same version another 100+ times without a single crash. Is it just my system that is slowly [...]

Phenomenon 32 v1.4
The installer for the new version is up. All the serious problems have now been fixed, except for compatibility issues and similar stuff that I cannot influence. Now, to get the game to GameJolt (and a couple more mirrors, if possible) and we’re fine.

You can’t say I’m not interested in support…
So. ‘Twas all a mix-up. The previous patch did actually fix the “falling through the ground” problem. In an odd turn of events, I have since then updated the patch with a different approach to solving the problem that had already been solved. I don’t know about you, but I think this is hilarious. I’m [...]
